Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which elements of the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme are a) sustainable and b) scalable.

One of the primary drivers behind the Asylum Support Accommodation Programme is to ensure a new model is both sustainable and scalable, with the flexibility required to respond to changes in demand. The work centred around Future Asylum Contract Transformation (FACT), and the replacement of the current Asylum Accommodation Support Contracts (AASC), will ensure that new arrangements meet the requirements for sustainability and scalability.
